Hope in Motion
Monday, July 14th to Monday, July 28th 2025
Join us for the Hope in Motion, a virtual marathon made available through My Virtual Missions, a virtual distance challenge platform. Participants will embark on a 26-mile journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Antigua, Guatemala, and the surrounding towns. This challenge is not just for runners, you can walk, bike, run, or even swim to complete the distance.
As you log miles, you’ll virtually explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Antigua, soaking in the rich Guatemalan culture and stunning views. Along your journey, you’ll receive digital postcards at key points on the route, featuring images and stories from the race locations, bringing you closer to the lives of our students and the vibrant community around the School of Hope.
Starting at the School of Hope, this race offers more than just a chance to challenge yourself—it's an opportunity to impact the lives of over 600 students.
How your miles help - The Nurture Network
Every mile you run brings us one step closer to providing vital health services for our students. Whether you’re exercising in your neighborhood or from the comfort of your home, your participation is making a real impact on the lives of our students. Right now, the demand for medical services is greater than expected, leaving a significant gap in our budget. Your support is more critical than ever. By participating, you help us continue delivering the care our students urgently need.
Your Miles Give Our Students the Healthcare they Need to Thrive
It costs $1,406/month to run our school healthcare program — but even a small donation makes a big difference
Our healthcare program- Nurture Network- is much more than a nurse’s office. It's a lifeline for our students.
Thanks to this program, hundreds of children and teens receive:
Medical attention when they feel unwell
Support accessing life-saving medications and referrals
Regular health screenings — dental, vision, hearing, weight, height, and deworming
Workshops on hygiene, sexual health, and violence prevention
Vaccination campaigns, including protection against Covid-19
Support for families navigating consultations, exams, and prescriptions
This is comprehensive, preventative healthcare—and it’s working. Students feel safe. They stay in school. They thrive.
